Текст песни From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) - Dave Edmunds

At sixteen she quit high school
To make a fortune in the promised land
She got a job behind the counter
In an all-night hamburger stand
She wrote faithfully home to Mama
"Now Mama, don't you worry none
From small things, Mama, big things one day come"

It was late one Friday
He pulled in out of the dark
He was tall and handsome
First she took his order, then she took his heart
They bought a house up on the hillside
Where little feet would soon run
From small things, Mama, big things one day come

Oh, but love is fleeting
It's sad, but it's true
When your heart is beating
You don't wanna hear the news

She packed her bags
And with a Wyoming Country Real Estate man
She drove down to Tampa
In an Eldorado Grand
She wrote back, "Dear Mama
Life is just heaven in the sun
From small things, Mama, big things one day come," woo!

Well, she shot him dead
On a sunny Florida road
When they caught her, she said
Why, she couldn't stand the way he drove
Back home, lonesome Johnny
Waits for his baby's parole
He waits high on the hillside
Where the Wyoming rivers roll
At his feet, and almost grown now
A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
From small things, Mama, big things one day come

From small things, Mama, big things one day come
Well, from small things, Mama, big things one day come
From small things, Mama, big things one day come
From small things, Mama, big things one day come
Yeah, from small things, Mama, big things one day come
